Sandy City Day Dreams
Finally some nice weather.
So, we gathered our gear and went to the playground.
Our imagination went wild as we created a new city and world.
I mentioned I might’ve seen Luke Skywalker … Poor Jade didn’t get the reference.
Mmmm, perhaps it’s time to introduce Star Wars / 1970’s style.
That’s Me … Daddy !!!
I’ve always been described as hyper, dynamic, and extremely good looking…;P
My Little Cutie Patootie
Jade always makes my smile, makes me laugh.
My Wife’s Puppy Sketch
An old image my wife drew for Jade.
Jade’s mom absolutely loves dogs.
Every time we’re walking, she stops and chats with dog owners.
Maybe in a couple years, we’ll get one.
My Wife, My Valentine

a father can do for his children
is to love their mother.”

For my 300th post, I couldn’t think of a better tribute and quote for my beautiful wife.
Thank you for being an amazing woman. Thank you for being so easy to love.
Thank you for our daughter Jade.
Your Little Heart
I promise to always be gentle with your little shining heart.
Happy Valentine’s Day Jade.
Love Daddy
She Flies in Wonder
My wife has given Jade so many forms of wings … literally and figuratively.
Doodles Inspired By The Movie “Dumbo”
Over a year ago, I saw a documentary on John Lasseter.
He’s the creative genius behind Pixar.
There was a great part where he talked about Dumbo … his favourite movie.
He loved the cartoonish feel of the old film.
And back then, Disney wasn’t scared of heavy emotion.
Walt Disney used to say, “There should be a laugh for every tear.”
Around a year ago, we rented the movie and Jade absolutely loved it.
She was 2 and a half and loved the all characters.
For the next week, I drew Dumbo inspired imagery for Jade (shown below).
Jade was even motivated to try … below is her drawing of Dumbo.
Creating Nonsense Stories
“What should we draw today?”
Often, Jade and I brainstorm funny or weird scenarios before we doodle.
~
“Wouldn’t it be funny if …”
We created mom as a “cat-bicycle” chasing a mouse.
The mouse really wants some cheese.
~
“Make the drawings come to life.”
After we doodle, sometimes Jade likes to act them out.
She’s loves adding drama to life (haha).
~
“You be Momma and I’ll be the mouse … the stuffy will be the cheese.”
Thank you Jade for your wonderful smiles and imagination.
We make beautiful nonsense together ;P
New Discovery — Galapagos Birds and Toilet Rolls
Little known fact …
These are the famous Toilet Roll Galapagos Birds (image above).
Darwin originally linked the evolution of birds with common toilet rolls.
My wife presented and unearthed this startling, new discovery today!
Remember, DON’T throw away your old toilet paper rolls.
Give them the love, care and creativity to evolve into a beautiful bird.
